They used the tyres the wrong way, not the wheels. Apologies but this is a bug bear of mine after 10+ years in the tyre industry, the wheels bolt to the car, the tyres fit onto the wheels!

I have the same issue, people going to get new wheels. No your getting new TYRES!

And I don't even work in the industry lol.

It's a wheelie big problem!

Didn't you read upthealbion's post above? It had nothing to do with the wheels! The premise of your joke is entyrely wrong.

I actually feel for Pirelli as they have as instructed by the FIA delivered tyres that wear quicker. Unfortunately the spectacle of F1 has suffered as a result as the tyres have been more of a talking point than the drivers. Not good from a PR point of view but whatever happens would like to see a return to competitive racing rather than 50 laps of tyre management

i think its spectacle, the sight of flying debris, which has got them into particular trouble and that is their fault. tyres just should not disintegrate like that when they fail.

it will sound like bike racing i think, subjective if you like the sound
